💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Two weeks of blessed Ramadan have passed by already.
As the days and nights nowadays go by so quickly,
Have you seen some changes? Do you feel differently?
Has your heart become softer? Your faith level increased
Through reading the Qur'an and learning Islam daily?
~•~
Or are you the same person as you were previously,
Envying others' lives, questioning Allah's Decree,
Stalking the accounts of those whom you hate intensely,
Doubting other Muslims' niyyah, ready to deceive,
And withholding surplus blessings from those in dire need?
~•~
Whichever page you're on in the Qur'an currently,
Whether Surah Al-Kahf, Al-Furqaan, or Yaseen,
Or in Surah Al-Baqarah reciting slowly,
Make sure you recite for Allah with sincerity,
To honor Allah's Speech and strengthen your piety.
~•~
Speed up your efforts to please Allah as it comes near,
Laylatul Qadr in which the Qur'an was revealed.
Be eager to pray Tahajjud while most are asleep
In the remaining nights of Ramadan before Eid.
That Allah can answer your Du'as firmly believe.
~•~
Cleanse your heart. Free it from lousy traits like jealousy,
Greed for dunya's joys, suspicion and hypocrisy.
Forgive Muslims for Allah though you didn't receive
Response or sorry, so with a pure heart you can greet
Laylatul Qadr while Allah accepts our good deeds.
~•~
Realize as well that not all of us will be here,
Many may return to Allah prior to next year.
So make this month better than those of the previous years,
Read more chapters from the Noble Qur'an faithfully,
And pray that Allah takes us while He is with us Pleased.
~•~
No human is perfect. Hence if you ignorantly
Misbehaved, watched indecent scenes, or hurt somebody
Some time ago before today Ramadan fifteen,
Seek Allah's Forgiveness. Do Istighfaar aplenty,
Say Du'a, and don't you dare deny Allah's Mercy.
~•~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan due to faith (Imaan) and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven. Whoever stands in prayer during the Night of Decree (Laylatul Qadr) due to faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven."
